0405 - Summary/Objective
0406 -
040601 - The discussion on this wandered quite a bit, but in the end, Morris
040602 - feels he can deliver some remarks.
040603 -
040604 - Morris initially expressed concern about Chips endorsing SDS.  I
040605 - pointed out that the presentation is not intended to mention SDS,
040606 - except possibly in the Q&A period.  Morris said has not read my memo
040607 - on this, ref SDS 3 and DIP 1.  He asked me to read it to him.
040608 -
040609 - Morris mentioned that he is scheduled to give a speech to the Asian
040610 - Engineering Society (or something like that), on the topic:  "Secrets
040611 - of a Successful Start-up."  He is doing this as part of a Chips
040612 - recruiting effort to hire engineers.

0708 - Summary
0709 -
070901 - Meeting ref SDS 4, submitted ref OF 4.
070902 -
070903 - Morris explained his concern about legal exposure if he, as an officer
070904 - of Chips, endorses a product.  I explained it is not necessary to
070905 - endorse SDS, but merely focus on POIMS technology.  Morris indicated
070906 - he thought my purpose was to get Chips to endorse SDS to Byte.  I
070907 - explained that is not the objective.  The first purpose is to gain
070908 - visibility of POIMS as a technology, to expose the ideas to debate so
070909 - there is market awarness of this new management method.
070910 -
070911 - After considerable dicusssion, Morris concluded he cannot submit what
070912 - I wrote for him, or anything else that mentions POIMS or SDS.

1008 -
100801 -  ..
100802 - Developed Planning for Morris to Use SDS
100803 -
100804 - How can we get Morris to use SDS, per planning on 910429? ref SDS 6
100805 - 2435.
100806 -
100807 - He could not use the disks I sent because they are 3.5 and his
100808 - computers only have 5.25 ports.   His DOS cpu at home is not
100809 - re-assembled from having taken it apart to transfer a disk to his new
100810 - 486 Unix cpu.
100811 -
100812 - We need Morris to use SDS in order to further evaluate how well it can
100813 - support his management practice.  It would be wonderful, if records
100814 - like this one could be entered and brought to his attention within his
100815 - own SDS environment, so he had an orderly way to review and comment,
100816 - plus fast access to support documents, history and analysis.
100817 -
100818 - What if I came down and helped him get started.  Created a shadow set
100819 - of action items and records of performance.
100820 -
100821 - He is open to my helping him use SDS.
100822 -
100823 -     [See follow up on 910518, ref SDS 8 1111.]
100824 -
100825 - Called back and discussed scanning his received documents.  He feels
100826 - comfortable with Marily filing them for now.
100827 -
100828 - He produces correspondence in a Unix program.
